About

I Will Enjoy My Weekend to the Fullest is a four-panel exploitable meme format in which Neon Genesis Evangelion character Shinji Ikari promises himself to spend a period of time in a productive manner, wastes it by lying around, and then comments on successfully accomplishing the set objective.

Origin

The exact origin of the format is currently unknown. The original meme is estimated to have been created in summer 2018. On August 27th, 2018, an unknown Redditor reposted the original meme in the /r/evangelionmemes[1] subreddit, where it received over 190 upvotes in six months. On September 20th, 2018, Imgur[2] user ComradePutinCCCP1917 posted a version of the image in higher quality as a part of a meme dump that received 720 views in three years (shown below).

The image did not become a meme format until July 14th, 2019, when Twitter[3] user @riptaiga posted a version of the image recaptioned "I will enjoy my summer to the fullest" that gained over 1,800 retweets and 4,000 likes prior to the account being suspended (shown below).

In the following days, the post received viral spread online. For example, on July 15th, 2019, Facebook[4] page Shinji Ikari reposted the image, with the post gaining over 940 reactions and 6,200 shares in two years. On the same day, Instagram[5] user big_chungles reposted the image, with the repost gaining over 4,900 likes in two years.

On July 31st, 2019, Redditor Quantum3000 posted a version of the image recaptioned back to "I will enjoy my weekend to the fullest," with the post gaining over 10,100 upvotes in /r/absolutelynotmeirl.[6]

Starting in late 2019, more memes based on the image were posted online, including various remakes and recaptions. For example, on December 22nd, 2019, Facebook[7] page Your Friend Doge posted an ironic Doge meme that gained over 2,800 reactions and 3,000 shares in two years (shown below, left). On March 18th, 2020, following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Instagram[8] page evangelion__memes posted a meme that gained over 6,000 likes in one year (shown below, right).
